Cala Mesquida
Close to the picturesque town of Capdepera and embraced by a centenary pine forest, rocks and sand dunes, lies one of the most famous coves in Majorca. You can take a dip or enjoy surfing or windsurfing in its crystal-clear water, as the northern winds create the perfect waves.

This makes it a spot you simply cannot miss out on during your holiday or day trip to Majorca if you’re a budding ornithologist.
Port de Alcudia
Located in the north of the island, at the heart of this area is the marina, packed with restaurants, shops and bars, perfect for anyone looking for entertainment. It also offers an extensive beach that invites you to take a dip, go sailing or enjoy all kinds of water sports such as surfing, kayaking, sailing or paddle surfing.
Alcudia is just over 1km away. What used to be the capital of the island during the Roman occupation is embraced by an ancient wall, which houses a magnificent medieval old town, decorated with stately homes and precious constructions such as the Sant Jaume church and the chapel of Sant Crist.
Playa del Muro
On this sandy beach located adjacent to the Bay of Alcudia, you can take a dip, relax while sunbathing on its white sand, enjoy snorkelling or sailing, observe the sunset from the terrace at Royal Beach or Ponderosa Beach, or cool down at one of the many beach bars such as Can Gavella, a flagship for tasting delicious paellas.
